CO-OPFRAT ON.

The New York Sun has been at consid-
erable pains to gather information regard
ing the results so tar attained by the vari-
Gus cooperative concerns now in operation
in this country. Sixteen cities where CO.
operative concerns are in existence have
oeen visited and uncoloTed reports made Of
the actual working OF the enterprises. The
rs-alt of the SuR's discoveries Is embodied
in the following editorial summary:
These reports show that, whatever its
success in England. the results OF the ex-
perimeutS have, on the whole, been very
unsatisfactory in the United States. Lack
of business managers, and inability to
compete with the regular trade have been
the causes Of the failure OF most OF the
undertakings. In the cases, too,
where the enterprises a been
successful like disaster was often only pre-
vented by substantially changing them into
uriyate or ioint-stOCk concerns doing bust
ness after the ordinary methods, In New
ark, for instance, n of the earliest efforts
at cooperation was the establishment OF a
cooperative brewery by twelve German
workmen; but when il proved successful
they quarrelled among themselves, and
the result was that they sold ont their
shares 10 one Of their number, who has
grown rich by running the brewery as his
private enterprise. Attempts at the coop
erative manufacture Of sadlers' tools Of
shoes, and of harness resulted in about the
same way. As they became prosperous they
were turned into private or ioint-stOck con
Germs, in which there was scarcely q yes
tige of the cooperative principle on which
they were founded.
This, Of course, is q Of the greatest
dangers to which the system is exposed in
is practical application. The men most
competent to run the enterprises begin e
net tired OF the cooperative council, which
hampers them in the execution Of theii
plans quarrels ensue, and the sole eontroD
pesses into their hands, 50 that eventually
the business becomes theirs exclusively,
IL il simply another example of the supe
rior prOpeIliDg power Of selfish interest, 81
compared WITH desire for the common
good.

been more successful in England than in
this country. The experiment OF the
cooperative store for the sale OF
goods has worked somewhat bet
ter with rs, though only in comparatively
few cases, and nowhere with anything ap-
preaching what is represented as the En-
glish experience. Here in New York 10
has been o pretty complete failure from
the first, and in Brooklyn, Newark, Pitts
burg, Cleveland and Boston the results
have not been more satisfactory. The re-
ports from Buffalo, Trenton, and Milgau-
kee are more encouraging, though In none
of the sixteen cities covered by our lnyes-
tigation has anything riyalling the success
of the cooperative stores OF England been
achieved. At best they have only been
successful in comparison with the common
failure.
One great, if not the chief obstacle to the
success of the cooperative store in this
country is the small percentage OF profit at
which private dealers, and especially the
large shops, sell their goods, and the
ability their greater cash capital gives
them of obtaining goods cheaper. The Co
operative store started in New York by
Miss Kate Field, il will be remembered,
went into bankruptcy because it could not
begin to compete with private concerns in
the same business. With insufficient cap
ital and doubtful credit, it was obliged to
pay more for articles than the pricos at
which the others could afford to sell
them.
In a country where the retail business is
conducted on the cash system, MS it is 80
generally here, and where the margin OF
progt can therefore be kept low, there
does not seem to be much chance for the Co
operative store, especially IS sharp compe-
tition also tends 10 50 cheaper prices as TO
prevent any concern from becoming large
ly, or even considerably profitable, unless
its trade is very great.

Irishmeu's Strange Power of AttraetiO

London Spectator.
The strange power of attraction which
for the past six centuries has enabled Irish
men to make all who come among them,
whether conquerors or friends, more Irish
than themselves, is again at work and rap
idly d~isorganizing and degrading English
opinion. 1t would be unquestionably
wiser for the government to Introduce q
land purchase bill, if only it be complete,
and give it immediate effect, than to wait
for the calmer condition of the public
mind, which, until the land tenure is revo-
~lutiouized, will in Ireland never come on
the subject of land purchase.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 12.-The Legislative
Committees report TO the Knights of Labor
Convention to-day, approving the Blair
educational bill, eight-hour day for mail
carriers, the Foran bill in relation to home
steads, providing that such settlers may
borrow $500 from the government, secured
by land, at 3 per cent, demanding that
government building contracts provide for
weekly payment of workingmen, and APP
proving the recommendations of the Gen
eral Master Workman's address in favor of
government control of the telegraph and tele-
phone systems of the country, was adopted.
The principal part of the afternoon ses-
sion of the Knights Of Labor General AS
sembly was devoted to the report of the
Committee on Strikes and Boycotts. The
adverse recommendation of the committee
regarding document asking that a special
bureau of strikes and boycotts be established,
was sharply antagonized. The majority of
the Assembly agreed with the committee,
and no bureau will be framed. The COM
mittee offered several suggestions ds to the
conduct of strikes and boycotts. The report
of the committee advising the reference of
all cases for investigation was finally
adopted The closing words are "Think
before you strike. Don't boycott except
when you can't help it,"

FLORIDA In NO FRIGHT.
THE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE STATE
AT THEIR POSTS.

Thirteen Tickets to Tampa Sold by q
Single Railroad at Jacksonville Yes.
terday-A Doctor and Five Trained
Nurses Start from Key West - No
Additional Deaths.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Oct. 12-As evi.
dence that the yellow fever scare is over,
thirteen applicants for tickets to Tampa are
reported from one railroad Office to-day.
The Jacksonville Board of Health decided
to-day to send a man to Tampa to keep the
board fully posted, as the news from Tampa
is very meagre. In regard 80 the mails
coming from Tampa, the board decided that
mail agents should not be allowed to pass
through the stricken city, but that an ac-
climated man be employed to run from
Plant City to Tampa and return, and there
turn over the mail to the regular mail
agent.
The fever is evidently dying out, as little
unacclimated material is left for it to feed
on. No fever is reported from any other
place in Florida.
Division Superintendent Turner of the
railway mail service, is here arranging for
the fumigation of Tampa mails which will
be detained twenty-four hours for the pur-
pose
ne scare is past III almost every part OF
the State, and the wheels of business are
again revolving briskly.
THREE CASES AND NO DEATH.
TAMPA, FLA, Oct ~, 6 p. M.-The fol-
lowing was sent out this evening:
Three new cases OF fever have been reported
in the last "a hours, those of Levi Haskins,
John Lewis and Mr.. Murnham. No deaths have
occurred. Two Italians who have been sick
several days have been reported. Three refu-
gees who are in the country have come to
notice to-day as sick, viz: Lucius Finlay and

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Surgeon General
Hamilton to-day received a telegram from
Deputy Collector Spencer at Tampa, Fla,
saying that one death and three new cases
of yellow fever have occurred since the last

hopeful.
Surgeon General Hamilton has directed

A FOG HID THE SIGNAL.
TRAINMEN TESTIFY ABOUT THE
DISASTER AT KOUT.

The Semaphore Turned the Moment
the Train Stopped, and Brakeman
Sent Back With Lantern, but He
Was Struck by the Freight Train
and Knocked Senseless.
HUNTINGTON, IND, Oct. 12.--The testi-
mony before the Coroner here as to the hor-
rible collision on the Chicago and Atlantic
road near Kout began with the deposition
of j. B. Parks, conductor of the passenger
train. His train was nearly two hours
late, having broken an eccentric strap on
the engine between Hurlburt and Boone
Grove. "We stopped for water east of
Boone Grove" he continued "In three
minutes train No. As struck us on the rear
end and telescoped the sleeper into
the ladies' car, the smoker and baggage cars.
The wreck took fire at once. We got
eighteen passengers out Nine were killed
and burned. The semaphore was turned
when we stopped. | did not know the
freight train was coming. When it struck
us it was running at the rate of twenty
miles an hour"
A BRAKEMAN WENT BACK.
j. S. P. Cotton, the second brakeman on
the passenger train, said: 81 was told by
Conductor Parks that we had As and extra
As and to look out. | jumped off our train
before we stopped at the State line ditch
tank and ran back to flag the freight train.
| was knocked senseless by the passing
freight
Brakeman Jacobs testified that he turned
the semaphore. He saw Brakeman Cotton
going back with the signal light. He could
not see the headlight of the freight engine
until it was only about eight or ten car
lengths away. 1t was coming down grade
at about twenty-five or thirty miles an hour
The engineer and fireman of the passenger
train testified that their engine was disabled
1t had not stopped more than three minutes
when the fast freight struck their train.
The collision occurred about two minutes
after the semaphore light was turned. The
passenger train was behind time, and the
head brakeman was assisting at the engine
when the crash came.
LAYING IT ON THE FOG.
Engineer Dorsey and Fireman Wlllets,
of the fast freight, testified that they started
out on time and received no orders as to
any passenger engine being disabled and
behind time. When Boone Grove was
reached the signal was all right, and the
operator told them to go ahead, giving no
other orders. They did not intend to stop
at the State line ditch tank and were run
ming at a light rate of speed. All the
trainmen examined claimed that the night
was foggy, and that danger signals could
not be seen until they were right upon
them.
STILL A MYSTERY.
KoUT, IND, Oct 12.-IG is about settled
that no one will ever know definitely how
many persons perished in the Chicago and
Atlantic horror. The estimates continue to
vary from thirty down to- ten. One more
of the victims has been identified, a young
Irish woman named Malone, from Chicago.

virginia's : risoners Granted writs.

WASHINGTON, Oct 12.-Upon the reas-
sembling OF the United States Supreme
Court to-day, Chief Justice Waite an
nounced that the court had decided to grant
writs of habeas corpus in the cases Of Attor-
ney General Ayres and the two Common
wealth attorneys of Virginia, who are now
in prison in Richmond for disregarding the
order of Judge Bond in the coupon crusher
litigation. The writs are made returnable
on Monday next The effect of this decision
will be to bring the cases of the imprisoned
State officers TO this court, without unneces-
sary delay, for trial upon their merits
Mr.. Gordon. Of the counsel for the pris-
oners, asked whether the court had consid-
cred his verbal motion that the prisoners be
admitted TO bail. The Chief Justice replied
that the court could not properly act upon
the question of hail until the United States
Marshal had made return TO the writs OF
habeas corpus, and the prisoners were actu-
ally in the courts custody. Mr. Gordon
will renew, next Monday, his request for
the Liberation of the prisoners on bail pend
ing the final decision of the questions in
controversy.
